Sounds good. I'm on an employee account so it should be pretty smooth with their tech support. Also, the only problem I currently am having is the fact that I have the Employee Edition of the DNA so I don't know if they're going to send me another red one since they've been out of stock with that one since like the second day it was available. I'll call them in a little bit here. I'm trying to back up everything before I RUU and what not.

I hope there is a thread somewhere for me to follow step by step. Question! Do you know if relocking it takes off that Tampered logo?
[HTC Droid DNA] kraziekc:
yeam same thing. at first they told me they didnt have any employee edition replacements. I would ask them or wait until they have one because my replacement has a red back w/o a serial number. :what:

it doesnt take off tampered... you have to RUU back to factory ... there is a ruu through one of the forum topis under development for the dna

[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
Ugh.. Fantastic. Did they offer you a different phone in return? I might just switch over to the Note 2 or 8x EE if that's the case. :/*

Do I follow this? I don't understand how to load that RUU then.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
Well, I did it finally. I RUU'd the device, and it's still stuck in 3G. I cannot get it out of there. So I'm going to call them tomorrow and see what they can do for me.

Do you know if they'll offer me the same device or a different one?
[HTC Droid DNA] kraziekc:
Hey, well if you have the employee edition. U will need to send the employee phone along with the wireless charger if you went with regular DNA with the black back..cost difference...unless you get the droid DNA employee edition replacement.

Now as far as the option to get a different

Phone... Probably the junk razr m or windows 8x. . I wouldn't count on anything besides this as the option though.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
Really? I was hoping they would say the Note 2, and I would be happy. :p Then again, I really want to try that 8X though with Nokia and Verizon going to announce a new phone soon, I'd be better to hold off I think..

Anyway, I'm going to see what they can do for me when I give them a call. While I like this phone, I just hate that I can't make it 100% stock AOSP, and the battery life is so mediocre.

We'll see what happens. >_<
[HTC Droid DNA] kraziekc:
When I was having the issue I was hoping for Note 2 as well...

Goodluck. Let me know how it goes...
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
Definitely will. I really do like this phone. I just don't like dealing with all of the bs involved in getting it to how I want it.. :l
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
Ended up having to go with the black DNA. I could have held onto my phone for whatever reason and kept using only 3G, but I decided against it. Oh well.

Is it OK that in the bootloader it says "Relocked"? Obviously that means I unlocked my device, etc.. They're not going to do anything about that are they?
[HTC Droid DNA] kraziekc:
Well.... I doubt very much they will do anything about it being "relocked." I don't work that part of the business.... But I would dispute it if they did charge you. I would say, "how am I know wether or not one of you unlocked it and relocked it to get 300$ bills from me."

That's just what I would do.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
Sounds perfect to me. It's sad to get rid of my red guy, but truth be told, I only bought the red one because the black one was $200 and didn't come with the Fatboy Pillow.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
Here's a twist.. I can't get my new phone to activate on 4G either. Apparently, this phone doesn't want to take the SIM I have. I even tried so far as to put the SIM into my Nexus again, but it doesn't work on there either. Looks like I need to activate my other SIM card, but I don't believe I can. Do I need to call customer support?
[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
I'm just curios if you ever tried formatting /system before re-flashing the correct ROM?
[HTC Droid DNA] Shamrock13:
Yep. I have. I formatted the whole thing. I RUU'd the device, too, so it went back to 100% stock.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlNiCoLiNo:
Hi all,

After deeply snorkeling in the whole forum I ended up realizing that (perhaps) there's no answer for my question. So, I think now I'm able to post it here (since I'm so new in this forum that I'm not able to post in Development thread).

Ok, here is my issue:

I recently got my brand new N716G (JB 4.2.1), so far so good it has everything I need, except by game playing experience in some games: using a touch screen for playing some games is really anoying... The good news is that my gamming experience could be improved a little bit if I use my PS3 joystick, but again I got frustrated by the (again) anoying USB cable... I didn't give up and continued my journey to joy, by doing some extra research. I ended up finding a really nice tool on google play: "sixaxis controller" but it is required to root my device in order to run this software in my N7.

Since I just want to root my N7 in order to allow "sixaxis controller" to work, I need something really simple.

I've found that "Asus google Nexus 7 Toolkit" from mskip could help me on this but I've to be honest: I've never rooted an android device before.

Of course, I read almost the whole thread (link) in order to learn what I'm going to do and now I'm pretty sure that I really need to root my tablet but I'm not interested (at least now) on putting a custom ROM nor tweak any configuration. Also, I want to keep my tablet stil able to keep updating by itself whenever a new android version is coming (OTA) after rooting it (I know I'd need to re root after OTA but I might avoid that by installing another tool from google play that avoids that).

So, by using that tool I guess I would need to perform the following steps:

a) 1. Install Google Nexus drivers on your PC

b) 2. Back up your device

c) 3. Unlock your loader

d) 4. Root your device

e)	4.2. Root device + Install busybox

f) 2. Restore backup

Steps a) and b) are done. I didn't continue because I don't know if there's something else I've to do... Do I really need to flash a recovery? How should I continue? In my specific case, what sequence should I have to follow in order to succeed? Just a,b,c,d,e,f and that's all?

I know there's a "1-click for all" option but I don't know if that will fit my needs...

By the way, thanks for reading up to here and many thanks in advance... For sure, any help or tip will be highly appreciated.

Nico.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
easiest way to gain root, and without a toolkit.. fastboot oem unlock(unlocks the bootloader), fastboot flash a custom recovery, flash the su binaries in that custom recovery, reboot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlNiCoLiNo:
Hi simms22,

thank you for your reply!

Sorry but I don't understand. Do you mean that I can root my N7 manually by fastboot it and then flash a custom recovery? How?

I'd rather let an application (or script) to perform such actions for me since I'm really new on this and I just want to avoid any brick :(

Thanks again!

Nico.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
thats the problem, since youre new. by letting something else do it for you, you learn nothing. so when it comes time for simple maintenance, you get stuck, possibly ruining your device. rooting any nexus is easy, it was designed to be easily "rooted". all you need is to install fastboot onto your computer, and make sure the drivers are installed. there are a few threads here that explain how to do it. then, with one line(three words), you unlock the bootloader. with another four word line you flash the recovery. then all youndo is flash the su binaries zip imnthat custom recovery and reboot. anyways, it still comes down to it being your choice how you want to root your device :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davisac:
Agree with simms. I used a toolkit when I first got my Nexus because I thought there's no way I'll be able to figure it out and I'll probably brick the thing. Then when I had to figure out how to use adb for something else I had no idea and was starting from scratch.

Basically, go ahead, it's easy.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smt8544:
+1 for no toolkit. My first rooting experience was on my HTC IncS which involved downgrading HBOOT, doing everything manually, and the like. I'm glad that was the case as it certainly provided me a challenge at the time but it forced me to learn at least the basics of adb and fastboot. (although I certainly know more now) You should try to gain root manually as it is actually very easy on the Nexus 7 and the basic knowledge you will gain will stand you in good stead if you ever have any problems or want to delve into custom ROMs or kernels in the future.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlNiCoLiNo:
You're right. I guess I'll give that tool a try and see what happens.

Thank you for your patience!

Nico
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonEsch:
I'm going to throw one thing out there. If you install super user and busy box THEN restore a backup, all you have done is unlocked your boot loader and flashed custom recovery. Install super user/busy box after you restore your backup. Also, you posted in the right section. If you had posted this in development you would have been flamed. Big time.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlNiCoLiNo:
I think there are some basics that I must learn before even rise an opinion here :)

Is there any tutorial or something you'd recommend to start with?

I don't know, may be "android rooting for noobs" or "teach yourself android basics in 21 days" :p

Thanks!

Nico.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlexiPack:
As a fellow noob, I thought you'd appreciate a simpler answer. I'd like to learn more but it can be confusing having all these different methods to consider. I've just unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device using the toolkit. You can go ahead with steps c, d, e & f Nico. You don't need to install a custom recovery unless you plan on flashing a custom rom. I'm sticking with the official OTA updates for now so I've stuck with the stock recovery.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlNiCoLiNo:
Thank you, FlexiPack! You really made my day with your reply.

Regarding the back up, I was not able to back up the virtual SD from the back up menu (0 files were backed up) but I did a complete applications backup (including system files and SD card). I don't know what was the difference but at the end, the .bak file was noticeably bigger. Hence I assumed that in fact all SD contents were backed up.

How was your experience with the backup option and after restoring your data? Did you lost something?

Again, thank you!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartass145:
Hello there guys, I too am a utter android noob and this my my first android device. I'm basicly in the same boat as the poster, all I want to do is root. No custom ROM and flashing of any sort. All I want to accomplish is root to enable USB OTG.

I know there are apps that enable reading such as Nexus media importer but I want to be able to read and write data to external storage via USB (Flas drives, external hard drives and cameras and the sort)

What I've discovered the first big step (after installing drivers and the lot - which is all rather simple) is to unlock the bootloader if I'm correct? But in this process the device will format? I honestly dont want to format my device. I'm totally confused and put off by the whole process.

Another question, what is a good backup program to use - of course for unrooted devices.

Alright, and formatting to unlock the bootloader?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
This is kind of a rant but applies here: Don't be afraid to unlock, install custom recoveries, and root.

I hear so many people say, "I just want to be stock... but I want all these features". I can't understand why people hold on to this "stock" state so dearly. It's like device virginity (and it is since you "can't" [mentally] really ever go back). There are so many features and updates that are worth enjoying today. At least, a custom recovery is critical for backups.

I understand this stuff isn't for everybody... but if you are reading this, you aren't grouped with everybody.

For all people who call themselves noobs, you really aren't cuz you now know certain things better than the average user.

Trust me, I saw a Customer buying Note 2 today, and when the sales guy told him that it's jelly bean, the retort was "what's that!!!"

And yes, all nexus devices are the easiest lot to root, unroot, unlock and then relock.

Trust me, Google and xda are your best friends.

Just remember one thing, backup before anything, you can always revert then!!!

You guys (noobs as you yourself call) have already jumped, now swim...

One most important thing, search, read, and take the plunge...

All forums have at the least one tutorial stickied!!!

As regards adb, fastboot, google, read, and trust me, you'll not be stuck for more than an hour!!!

Just my 2 cents, actually more!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sporkette:
It really is like that. But once you start you can't stop. I started by rooting my original android phone ( there were no toolkits and no problems) and ended up with two nexus devices compiling unofficial nightlies for them. I didn't even boot stock on my 7 before I flashed twrp. There's a whole world of fun if you're willing to get your feet wet. If you can stop with just root you're a stronger person than I.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cfig:
Hi guys,

I have a Razr Maxx XT910 with a stock ICS 4.0.4 (672-180-340 latam) and i can't use headphone button`s command when the phone is on sleep mode (locker or not... but screen off) .

I 've tried many music players with Headphone commands, like Winamp, PowerAmp, the stock player itself, Google Music, XPlay, Mixzing and also some Headphone controllers apps like Kiplish, Jays, Headphone Button Controller...

The commands only works when the screen is on... even when the phone is blocked... I tried not use the screenlock widget when possible and even dont lock the phone, like some blogs and others forums said for workaround, but nothing works...

To don't say that doesn't works at all... with the Xplay... it almost works... because, when I press the Headphone button, the Xplay turn on the screen... and if i press the button again it works... but the Xplay commands and delay is awful... And because i use my phone in pockets, when the Xplay turn on the screen... it always means stop the music or do something wrong, because something accidentally touch the screen...

So... these things happens with all of you too?... I heard that it only happens after ICS... but I'm not sure... as i said above... I already bought that phone with a stock ICS...

And if it happenned with you... what did u do to fix... or workaround?

Hey guys, I have a Droid 2 (Non-Global) that is currently soft bricked. I have a Motorola factory cable converter (had to use it for my Razr Maxx) that I have plugged into the phone being that its battery is too low. My problem is that when I plug in the phone to the computer, RSD Lite (4.9) won't recognize the device, even though it is in the Bootloader (Error message: Err:A5,70,70,00,1F MEM_MAP Blank Service Req'd). I need to flash a sbf file to the phone so that I can unbrick it. I am fairly familiar with the unbricking process, but only using Droid Razr Utility (for my Maxx), not flashing an sbf using RSD Lite. Can anyone help with this problem?
[Droid 2 General] sd_shadow:
if it's a Team Black Hat adapter it should work fine

couple of these you can do

did you install Motorola_End_User_Drivers

go to device manager. and look for unknown device

if there is an unknown device, uninstall it, it should be listed as motorola usb device

try a newer rsd lite version like RSD Lite 5.7

or try the ez way, all in one

I tried your solution (the drivers and newer version of RSD Lite) but it still won't work. I might have to resort to the other option if nothing else works... When I plug in my phone to the computer it is recognized by the comp, but not by RSD Lite. I looked in the Device Manager and the device is listed under Motorola USB Device > Motorola Flash Interface.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlieh1012:
I bought my nexus 7 in October so I've had it for a little over 3 months and iw absolutely love it, I've been having a bit of a problem with the screen and after a Google search I figured it was called light bleeding (has orange-yellowish tint going along all 4 sides)

So it's not too big of a deal as its only on the edges and not in the middle where I focus my attention plus it's really only noticeable if I'm reading or Web browsing with a white background. If I watch a movie or play a game I don't notice at all.

My question is, is it possible for the light bleeding to get worse and cover my whole screen? I can deal with it being on the edges and want to avoid sending it in for repair cause I'd hate to be without my nexus for a month so if it'll stay the way it is now ill just keep it and deal with it but if it's only gonna get worse I'd rather send it in sooner than later.

Any answers would be appreciated, thanks!
